“Water is Life but not accessible to every child”
This programme uses the rights-based approach and people-centered advocacy for
development as a strategy with human rights as its bedrock. The programme targets
women, children, policymakers, and civil society organizations to engender the
necessary policy, legislative, or societal action for change through women’s
leadership developments and child rights policy and law enhancement.
This programme responds to gender-based violence and abuse, discrimination and
stigmatization of the marginalized and ‘Special Women’ such as Women living with
HIV, Female Sex Workers, Widows and Orphans, and vulnerable children (OVC)
through the provision of integrated services and support to survivors of such
pandemic, violence, and abuse.
The services under the GED Programme include psychosocial counselling, legal
aid, food security, home-based care, child survival surveillance, reproductive health
education and rehabilitation.
Under this programme, the Social Support Foundation collaborates with
organizations and networks to train and recruit service providers for other agencies
working with survivors.
Child Health, Empowerment and Education Surveillance (CHEES) project
The Child Health, Empowerment and Education Surveillance (CHEES) Project is a
full-time operational unit retrieving and rehabilitating 150 Children from working on
small-scale mining and quarries in and around Obuasi in the Ashanti and Central
regions of Ghana.
The CHEES Project has been expanded into other operational Communities over the
periods as part of our efforts to enhance Child Survival, reduce child labour,
trafficking and servitude in communities and workplaces including small-scale
miners, farmers and fishermen.
CHEES Rehabilitation will work towards Child Health promotion and empowerment
of Children, enhancing the rights of the child, back-to-school promotion, vocational
and professional support for the out-of-school through skills training, microfinancing
links and follow-up on the economic progress of clients, if necessary.
